## **HFS-5 Heat Flux Sensor Description**
The HFS-5 is the first low-cost heat flux sensor on the market. It has minimal thickness while still maintaining excellent sensitivity. The heat flux sensor is flexible enough to be easily attached to round surfaces.
## **HFS-6 Heat Flux Sensor Description**
The HFS-6 is the first low-cost large area heat flux sensor on the market. It is particularly useful for monitoring the performance of thermal insulation and directly in-situ measuring insulation thermal resistance R-values. The sensor has excellent sensitivity that is perfect for measurements of heat transfer through building thermal insulation. Metal encapsulation increases the robustness of the sensor itself for repeated applications of the sensor to measurement surfaces.
## **UHFS-09 Heat Flux Sensor Description**
The UHFS-09 is the first low-cost ultra-sensitive plate heat flux sensor on the market. The high sensitivity design makes it ideal for accurately measuring relatively low-heat fluxes such as those seen in both building envelope and soil testing. A rigid, robust & water-proof construction makes the sensor durable and effective in various testing conditions.
